A philistine in the art film business, Jeremy Prokosch is a producer unhappy with the work of his director. Prokosch has hired Fritz Lang to direct an adaptation of "The Odyssey," but when it seems that the legendary filmmaker is making a picture destined to bomb at the box office, he brings in a screenwriter to energize the script. The professional intersects with the personal when a rift develops between the writer and his wife.

A difficult film to both anaylse and rate. It is obviously inspirational to filmmakers as much of Goddard's work is, but it's also very meta, aloof and almost abstract at times. Some of the story is a film within a film within a film. So with that in mind, we are literally poking into Goddard's head to watch his own take on Greek Mythology / falling out of love / the struggles to keep art-forms relevant and the decline of culture. One segment is literally a 40 minute argument in an appartment, which was verging on repetitive and overlong. That said it's importance in cinema is clear.

Jack Palance is ideally cast here as the Hollywood producer ("Prokosch") who has commissioned the legendary director Fritz Lang to breathe a last breath of life into the once thriving peplum genre with an adaptation of Homer's "Odyssey". He sees the rushes, and aside from a little nymph swimming in More
